Hi Flora,
You sound like you are in a pickle with this money. I think you have worked so hard and you contribute so much to your daughters and us sisters, I would like to help you with your situation. I am not wealthy by any means, but I am not strapped either. I would like to give you $500 as a gift to help you and someday, in the future, when you are better off, please help someone in need.Love your friend, Nap
August 5, 2011 at 8:17 pm #16543floraParticipantOhh NAP. You bring tears to my eyes. You are so kind. As much as i would love to accept, i cannot take your hard earned money to pay off my loser soon to be ex. I will find a way. I always do. Like a cat, always land on my feet somehow. Even though it might not look pretty getting there and i might hit a few tree branches on the way down and land on a rock.
Hey maybe i could start one of those sites where people ask for money like to pay of student loans etc. My site/blog could be about getting away from my sex addict soon to be ex husband. Not only would you get to read the saga that is my daily life, but I would get paid for it. I am just kidding about this. But is a thought. I wonder how that works.
August 5, 2011 at 8:23 pm #16544napParticipantThere’s an old chinese proverb:
“When someone offers you money, take it.”
August 5, 2011 at 11:41 pm #16545sharronParticipantNAP – What a wonderful act of love and kindness in offering to help Flora. Those kinds of friends are hard to find.
My son offered to pay my Condo payment monthly, if I am only staying with Steve for financial reasons. What a wonderful son, but I could never ask him to do it. He has boo-koo bills from a custody battle. It is so nice to know we have help when we need it.August 6, 2011 at 12:31 am #16546stillstandingParticipantNap,
It’s a good thing I’m sitting down because I just about fell off the couch when I read your kind offer to Flora. You are truly a gentle and kind soul.
Flora, I know it’s hard to accept the gift, but that’s what it is, a gift of love. From someone who has walked in your shoes and has the ability to help you.
When people offered to help me after my first husband died, my instinct was to refuse I had to much pride, but I had to remember my boys, and that’s what drove me to accept their generosity and I believe it’s also what has helped me have the desire to help others now by volunteering when I can, when my own health allows….it can be paid forward.
Hope that made sense….
August 6, 2011 at 2:12 am #16547silver-liningParticipantHello Sweeties!!!
Hope everyone has a great wknd!! Nap, you are a genius!! (and THE BEST!) Flora, I will match NAP’S gift of $500.00 to you! You need it, you deserve it!! Please accept! I will receive the first part of my settlement this coming Tues and would love to kick off my new life by helping a dear friend! Like Nap said, you have offered so much support and reasonable, practical advice and we all sooo appreciate it!! I love what SS said!! It makes sense and you WILL pay it forward! That’s just YOU!!!

Thank you for your kindness!!!
Love, NAPAugust 6, 2011 at 2:25 am #16549silver-liningParticipantI love my sisters!!! 🙂
August 6, 2011 at 11:49 am #16550floraParticipantHi NAP and Silver,
Again I am so flattered, and am reconsidering. The money/settlement would not need paid until the first week of september. I have time to try to sell, collect etc any cash which is accesible for a few weeks. I may set up an account where people if they wish to can pledge/donate. I am still searching all of my options. You both are so kind an generous and i am truely taken back by it. I would certainly pay it forward, but still want to exhaust other options first.Again THANK YOU and you guys and the sisterhood is just the best!
Love to all,
FloraAugust 6, 2011 at 5:27 pm #16551sharronParticipantFlora- I wish I could help you, but I have no money or I would! Will just have to keep sending thoughts of love to you.
August 6, 2011 at 5:44 pm #16552floraParticipantI will be fine. I am not worried. You know thoughts are all we need sometimes. I am sure that is how i got my new job!! My step dad has offerred to co-sign on a loan for me. So thoughts and prayers are all we need sometimes, and then somehow things work out. i don’t know how!! Some things in the past year, are short of a miracle really.
August 6, 2011 at 9:11 pm #16553cindy1111ParticipantFlora,
It brings me pain to know the circumstances that you are facing!Nap and Silver,

your love is so beautiful…it makes me cry…
